Hollywood’s Latest Jest: Meghan Markle Mocked on SNL
In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, found herself at the center of yet another comedic roast.
Comedian Michael Chee took a playful jab at Meghan, joking about her being paid $19 an hour to attend the coronation while a visual of her dressed as a maid appeared in the background.
The audience at home seemed to enjoy the humor, but those in the studio were taken aback by the unexpected laughter that ensued.
Viewers took to social media to express their amusement, with Vianna Flores tweeting, “This is hilarious,” accompanied by clapping and cry-laughing emojis.
However, not everyone was impressed by the segment.
Charmi Mae criticized Chee's humor, particularly his remarks about Meghan, calling them sexist and disrespectful towards black women.
The backlash highlights the fine line between comedy and offense in today's entertainment landscape.
This SNL skit is just one in a series of jests aimed at the royal couple, Harry and Meghan.
The Sussexes were recently parodied in an episode of South Park, where they were depicted on a global publicity tour, constantly making loud appearances on TV.
The satire drew mixed reactions, with a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan dismissing it as baseless and tedious.
The couple, once seen as untouchable in the US, are now facing increasing scrutiny and mockery in the media.
Comedian Chris Rock also joined the fray with a humorous take on Meghan's claims of racism within the royal family.
Rock's quip about her alleged ignorance regarding the royals' background sparked laughter and raised eyebrows alike.
The ongoing jokes and satirical portrayals of the Sussexes reflect the public's fascination with the royal family and their controversies.
In another royal news tidbit, Lady Louise, daughter of Prince Edward and Sophie, finds herself at the center of a title controversy.
While her younger brother, James, has been bestowed a new title as Earl of Wessex, Lady Louise remains without a new designation.
This discrepancy has raised questions about the antiquated rules governing royal titles and succession.
According to constitutional expert Prof. Craig Prescott, Lady Louise's lack of a new title stems from her position in the royal lineage and the traditional constraints that limit her options.
Despite calls for a change in her status, it appears that her parents, Prince Edward and Sophie, have chosen to maintain the status quo for now.
The situation has sparked debates about the relevance and fairness of these age-old royal customs.
As the royal drama unfolds, observers and fans alike are left pondering the intricacies of tradition, modernity, and the ever-evolving dynamics within the British monarchy.
The jests and controversies surrounding Meghan Markle and Lady Louise serve as reminders of the enduring allure and complexities of royal life in the 21st century.
